Abstract
The author emphasizes the close cooperation between United States plastic surgeons and the first international journal devoted entirely to plastic surgery, the Revue de Chirurgie Plastique (from 1931 to 1934) later to become the Revue de Chirurgie Structive (from 1935 to 1938) published under the editorship of Maurice Coelst, M.D., from Brussels.
By the accurate recording of original articles, book reviews, proceedings of their annual meetings, and summaries in three different languages (English, French, German), the author stressed the intense scientific dynamism and the achievements made by the U.S. pioneers of this new specialty which really started during World War I.
